Hello. On diagnosis trail-live in the US
Hello I haven't been definitively diagnosed yet, but my alk phos is high, GGT is high and I am AMA positive. Just looking for some support here. I know that this is in the UK, but our medical treatments for PBC are similar. I am mostly asymptomatic, I have some fatigue and some tenderness on my right

St Johns Wort..
After visiting to the drs about my PMS and not really getting anywhere, I decided to take things into my own hands and do some research. I've read some very good, and very negative things about St John's Wort and wondered if any of you could provide some real life experiences with this supplement? xx

Would really appreciate some feedback on my most recent bloods before Endo app on Wed. Thanks in advance. *All input welcome*
I was diagnosed with 'florid' or 'rampant' Graves Disease in January 2012. I had a T4 of 47 and high antibodies for both TRAB and TPO. The private Endo that I saw said "hmm, I'm diagnosing Graves but we'll have to keep an eye on those TPO antibodies". I had no idea what he meant at the time. I was

I have a lot of symphony's relating to PBC, itching, joint pain, abdominal pain, vomiting, dry eyes and mouth, fatty and hardening liver.
I asked my rheumatologist for the ANA test (I also have psoriatic arthritis). The test results are border line, any one know what this means? My sister has PBC.

Me again! Help with blood test results please
After waiting 6 weeks I finally got a copy of my blood tests which were taken by a specialist. Unfortunately, I was only sent 1 page when clearly there should be more as three areas have a star highlighting them and it says "continued..." at the bottom of the page. Just wondering if anyone could shed

Professor Hughes December 2013 blog
For us, 2013 ended on a bang – strong winds, heavy rain, widespread flooding. Our small schnauzer, Lucy, has not been keen even to put her toes out of the back door! My apologies for missing two months of blogs. I found that in the UK, the blogs were published on a website called ‘Health Unlocked’

I've been told that St Johns Wort helps with energy...do you thin it would be ok with MTX , infliximub , Levothyroxin , Zpolicon , Omesparol
Folic acid , 6 week injection of B6 , tramadol..I know it sounds silly but I just want some energy and it is a herb? Thanks you.

Just needing a moan. Had an awful month. Ended up twice in hospital after a heart attack and had to have an angioplasty and a stent put in.
Plus my bloods came back with a positive ANA and I now have another autoimmune disease to add to my Hashimotos and Coeliac in the form of Lupus. If another doctor had told me that my cholesterol was too high and I had to lose weight I would have screamed. Eventually someone thought to test my thyroid

Does lupus cause very dry skin?
hello - I have APS and pernicious anaemia. I have a positive ANA and St T's say I have lupus like symptoms associated with the APS but full blown lupus is not evident at the moment. I start Plaquenil in the new year (my specialist recommends introducing new drugs one at a time as I am on warfarin) I

I'm scared I'm developing a serious problem + food because I can't lose weight, even when eating under 600cals for days. Why can't I lose?
If I eat any more then I feel so guilty and so full that I just have to get it out of me. I tried talking to my doctor about my inability to lose weight and she just told me to "chill". It is making me so depressed that I am not coping at all. I would take St Johns Wort but it says that interferes with

St Johns Wort. Take or not?
I'm considering taking SJW, I'm trying to avoid Citalopram. I'd be very interested on peoples thoughts on taking SJW? How have you found it? Does it work? Any side affects? Thanks

first appointment with a rheumatologist- positive ANA 1/640
Hi everyone, I am a 22 year old woman living in Boston. I have had reynauds since I was about 12 or so. I always thought this condition was a little worrisome, but I never thought about it too much. At a very young age I also noticed spider angiomas appearing on my hands (about 4 or 5 of them have come

Should I insist on a referral to investigate sle?
Will try to cut this short. My son was born with what the health visitor described as "baby acne" (apparently common amongst boys). It became infected and needed antibiotic ointment. He was always sicky. Had a huge inflamed belly button which eventually went down. At 1yr old he developed a rash on one

A positive ANA
Hello - this is my first post here. I was diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome in April. The blood tests also indicated a positive ANA. My Consultant wanted me to be seen at St Thomas' for the Hughes but said the positive ANA "was nothing". St T's also found that I have Pernicious Anaemia so life long B12
